LA Coup looks like it will be making many large buds~!
Nice~!

Thanks and I hope you are right! I got some high hopes for this one

Everything is cruising along nicely in the grow room, thought I'd do an update today since it's been a while.

First up is the Purple Zkittlez from Ethos. All I have done to this plant is top it once at the 5th node and did a small amount of training on those two branches coming out from where I topped her. Thinking of letting this one go natural with no scrog just to make things easier for me, I'm still not 100% but getting there. If I let her go natural, who thinks I oughta flip soon. Lots of room in the 5x5 to make things easier with defoliation in the back of the tent.





Next up is the AF Coup from Brother Mendel. Almost 6 weeks since flip, she's really reaking loud right now and hoping these flowers have a lot of weight to put on yet, at least 3 more weeks til harvest so plenty of time to fatten up.





Lastly is the Violetta from Ace Seeds in Spain. Looking forward to what this strain has to offer.



All 3 res's are staying super stable with nothing bad to report, things have been on auto pilot for the most part and I'm thankful for that!

Cruising along here, almost time for a harvest on the LA Coup and I got them spaced out a bit so everything doesn't come ready at the same time.

Purple Zkittlez has been getting big and so I decided to flip to flower yesterday, running the HPS simulation on the Raging Kush 12/12. I tied back some of the branches using old milk jugs with some water in them as tie off points, got her spread eagle and some of the inner branching is filling out the middle of the plant, hoping for a fairly even canopy out of this gal, got a net trellis installed to account for the stretch.




The LA Coup is almost ready, sitting at 7 weeks and 1 day since flip. I've done a bit of defoliation but this plant is so short and crowded it's very hard to get in there to prune. Got two fans in there on high and humidity has been under control so should be ok as far as mold goes. I've got some high hopes for this one and looking forward to seeing this one tested.







In the other 3x3, I've got the Violetta doing nicely. She's been building roots and they look good, did a bit of pruning of those lower leaves and looks like this one is going to be another short stout strain, mainly Indica I am guessing. Anyhow, changed the res out for early growth the other day and everything is on auto pilot at this point.

Nice scrog there bro

Right at 8 weeks for the AF Coup but she's still not ready. I'm headed to Salt Lake City for Dr. appointments and won't be back until the 29th so it may be I let her go til at least then, I checked trichomes and very few amber on sugar leaves and almost none on the buds. Gonna go later rather than sooner with this gal. She's also still drinking quite a bit, bout a gallon a day.










Violetta is really starting to shine up top finally, roots look great. I topped her the other day and she's in the process of setting in some branching. Changed the res on her yesterday for a higher early growth concentration, nailed it and it's been very stable since with a slight uptick in the pH, EC staying constant, almost perfect conditions.





The Ethos Purple Zkittlez is also starting to shine, one week since I flipped her and she is starting to show some pre flowers and starting too stretch as well. I've got a trellis in there for when she does that she'll have some support for some huge buds! this plant is going to be huge!

I like the milk jug tie off idea, I may use that or something similar in the future

Zero fade on the AF Coup, every so called 8 week strain needs 10 weeks at least.see you monday

You can't see it in those photos but there is a tiny bit of fade that i starting to come in. She'll be close to ready when I get home I believe. She is still drinking about a gallon a day too so that right there says wait, but you're right, 8 weeks is never enough unless you count from first sign of pistils and not flip time. Likely I will wait a coupe of days after I get back, I want to turn off the red spectrum for the last two days of flower, supposed to increase terp levels.

I agree, Most of the time I have taken them too early but I think I'm over that and don't mind waiting. Plus, thanks to you and Moe, I've had no shortage of oil for medicine! Looking forward to seeing you and your bride tomorrow!
